Author interpretations and caveats

Paraphrased for this database from the authors’ stated interpretations — never quoted verbatim — and kept separate from reported measurements.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

The CNF@Ni-HITP symmetric supercapacitor combines high capacitance, high rate capability, high cycling stability, and mechanical flexibility.

Caveat: Some extended potential-window, Ragone, and flexibility video details are in SI/videos.

rendered pages 6-7 / article pp.9583-9584 · Results and Discussion; Conclusions · Figure 4 · Linked to 9 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: Medium

Extending the supercapacitor potential window above 1.0 V increases capacitance/energy but reduces Coulombic efficiency, cycle stability, and rate capability, likely due to minor faradaic processes.

Caveat: Supplementary figures were available; some curve values remain approximate where only axes/labels were shown.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Continuous c-MOF nanolayers on CNFs create fewer grain boundaries and smaller interparticle spaces than c-MOF powders or direct-mixed papers, leading to much higher conductivity.

Caveat: Conductivity values are strong; microscopic mechanism is an author interpretation.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

CNF@c-MOF nanopapers have much higher capacitance than CNF-c-MOF direct-mixed papers with the same components because the interfacial nanofiber network improves electron transfer and ion transport.

Caveat: Direct-mixed paper fabrication details are in SI, but capacitance comparison values are reported in main text.

Synthesis MechanismSupport assessment: High

Ni2+ species in CNF-Ni act as bridges that bond CNF and Ni-HITP, resulting in integrated CNF@Ni-HITP nanofibers.

Caveat: Full XPS spectra are in SI; main text provides deconvoluted peak positions and assignment.

rendered page 4 / article p.9581 · Results and Discussion · Figure 1d and Figure S5 · Linked to 4 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Hierarchical micropore/mesopore porosity in CNF@c-MOF nanopapers facilitates electrolyte transport, while high conductivity facilitates charge transfer.

Caveat: EIS table values are exact SI_table extractions; mechanistic interpretation remains author-assigned.
